The Unseen Muse - Kavi

...poetry is an elusive trickster
when i want it to be there
it disappears

it does not respond
to command

but instead
seems to live its own life

freely unconcerned
with what i want

any sign of wanting

on my part

and it's off

hiding in the ether

enjoying the unformed realm

so what can i do?

i have no plan

not building a career

or a platform
not trying to be anything

or get anywhere

no

i simply have to follow the waves
to rise and fall
guided as they are
by some unseen hand
some mysterious intelligence

the same intelligence that runs the whole show.
